Thanks, I already wrapped it electrical tape. From the wiring diagram, it connects the coil to the starter solenoid. If anyone is interested, the selected snippets of the wiring diagram are attached. The starter switch is #62, the coil is #23, the battery is #17 and the starter is #27.

Will do.

1972 3.0CS USA which I've owned since 1974. It's in the E9 registry here: https://bmwcsregistry.org/list/index.php?page=item&id=7138 I drive it on and off during the summer, but recently we had a big, quick downpour and a stream of water ran down the hill where the car was parked. After it...

I thought that I previously re-added my car to the "new" registry, but I obviously did not. My recent thread here on my flood/debris issue jogged my memory, so here's my registry entry: https://bmwcsregistry.org/list/index.php?page=item&id=7138

Success. Of course, now it just cranks and won't start. I need to investigate further to see if something got wet. I'm sure it's minor, because it started fine a few days before the storm hit. Thanks to those who suggested digging and everyone else too. It turned out to be not as bad as I...

Sorry for the dumb question, but would pulling on the rear axle have risks? I assume that's what a tow truck operator would do. I bought the car from the first owner in 1974 and had the whole car redone from the frame up in 1978. I only drive it on nice days in the summer, but I'm not sure...

As I said above, the driveway is asphalt, but the sides are 1" crushed stone. The culverts were overwhelmed and then blocked with debris. I will use my floor jack to jack up a corner and dig everything out, one corner at a time.

Because I don't have a garage and it's a driver. It's out of the elements only in the winter. The thunderstorm happened without much warning and I wasn't too worried because the car has a decent car cover. It's not like the car was parked near a water body.. We've lived in this house for 25...

Thanks for all the responses and PMs. I can't use the tow hook because I have no access to pull from the front. I think my only option is to dig, since the debris is packed right up to the frame. Is there a photo showing where to attach tow straps to the rear frame. Right now I can't see the...

I experienced a minor disaster. We had a cloudburst with 3+ inches of rain in a short period of time. A torrent of water came down the hill and deposited sand and gravel under my 72 CS, which was parked with the rear end facing the driveway. The car is not damaged, but it would take forever to...

Old coupe owners never die, they just lose their drive.

Given the design of the 2021 BMWs, the front center grille needs to be tripled in size.

I'm interested in 3.

It could be worse. It could also have had massive tailfins like the cars in the 1950s. In 6 months the giant gaping grille won't look so wierd. BMW knows that their main market is now China. They are way behind on converting to BEVs and they had to try some type of gimmick to boost sales.

I've always thought that publically displayed statues are political statements that get a pass because they are also considered "art". Thus, IMO they belong in a museum. I'm sure at some point in the future, some group will want to tear down the statue of Jimi Hendrix in Seattle. And maybe even...

Hey guys, c'mon the Edsel was a big success!

My wife bought a new 1972 malaga 2002 at Ott and Berger BMW in Williamstown, MA. We took it there for service and one day while we were waiting, one of the owners had a 1972 nachtblau 3.0cs with tan leather and he was laying patches of rubber back and forth on the street where the dealer was...

I'm intimidated by that first Spring startup. Not because I worry if the car will start. I just hate the mouse house dirt and debris that flies out of the AC vent.[emoji193]

I wouldn't read too much into this. It's on a concept car, the i4, and we all know what THAT means. Look at that giant front grille. Its size has been ridiculed by the common folk and the automobile experts alike. Concept cars are just that. They are marketing hype. In this case its BMW's...
